A 12-year-old boy has been injured after he was hit by a car on a major west Hull road.

Anlaby Road was closed during rush hour on Wednesday evening as emergency services dealt with the accident. Humberside Police confirmed they were called to the accident just after 5pm and a young cyclist had to be treated for a serious injury.

A police spokeswoman said: “We were called at 5.15pm after reports of an accident involving a car and a cyclist.

“The cyclist, a 12-year-old boy, has got a fracture which is a serious but a non-life threatening injury. He was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary for treatment.”

One customer inside the Albert Hotel said: “The Road was closed for about 20 minutes while the police dealt with the accident. He was a young lad but if it had been a pensioner it could’ve been worse.”

A shopper has said they believe a boy was hit by a car in Anlaby Road opposite Wenlock Court.

The woman said: “I heard a boy of about 12-13 was hit by a car. The wind screen was completely smashed.

“It happened about an hour ago but I don’t know how he is.”
